The superstore quickly responded on Twitter, writing, "@suZen We apologize for this unintentional oversight & never intend to offend our guests. We've heard you, and we're working to fix it ASAP."

A Target spokeswoman
tells "Today" the incident was an "unintended oversight."

"We never want to offend any of our guests. We apologize for any discomfort that we may have caused," the spokeswoman says. "We are in the process of fixing the discrepancy and updating Target.com so the gray dress will be available in all styles. We're working on updating our systems right now."

Clemens has followed up her initial tweet with an explanation that she wasn't expressing outrage, just asking Target what was up. "This whole #manatee thing touched cultural pain points - it's not about @Target - it's about how people feel about how they're discussed," writes Clemens.
